Tread Softly

ECOTRAVELLER guides do what the Lonely Planet series doesn’t even aspire to:
provide a comprehensive introduction to a country’s natural history. Brazil is
the seventh country to get the Ecotraveller treatment, and within this guide’s
500 pages there are colour illustrations of 31 species of insects and other
arthropods, 95 amphibians and reptiles, 288 birds, 70 mammals, 35 fish and 37
common plants. There’s also an informed and interesting text to accompany the
pictures.
